Abstract: Few Romanian companies implemented remote work before the pandemic breakdown. The employees’ experience with telecommuting started or for some increased suddenly in 2020 due to the lockdown restrictions. Therefore, the focus of this study was to examine the perception of employees from the perspective of well-being and work-life balance during telework. The quantitative approach was applied in the case of two companies and data was collected through a survey. The findings identified the influence of isolation from colleagues and friends on the state of loneliness which could lead to depression or tension, additionally affecting anxiety. These than are linked to the well-being and work-life balance of teleworkers. In reverse the state of calm and relaxation, and the condition of being active and energetic boost the employees’ well-being. Also, the relaxed home working environment that could also include pets and time spent on personal activities enhance the work-life balance. Thus, the results emphasize the respondents’ preference for telecommuting is the outcome of their awareness of work-life balance and well-being.
